Beware of Personal Favoritism
1 My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, athe Lord of glory, with bpartiality.
2 For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in1 fine apparel, and there should also come in a poor man in2 filthy clothes,
3 and you1 pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, “You sit here in a good place,” and say to the poor man, “You stand there,” or, “Sit here at my footstool,”
4 have you not1 shown partiality among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts?
5 Listen, my beloved brethren: aHas God not chosen the poor of this world to be brich in faith and heirs of the kingdom cwhich He promised to those who love Him?
6 But ayou have dishonored the poor man. Do not the rich oppress you band drag you into the courts?
